Design to Shape Light

Founded in 1874, Louis Poulsen is a Danish lighting manufacturer born out of the Scandinavian design tradition where form follows function. The function and design of our products are tailored to reflect and support the rhythm of natural light. Every detail in the design has a purpose. Every design starts and ends with light. Defying traditional product categories, our products serve and span the professional and private lighting markets for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Louis Poulsen's approach to architectural development began with its collaboration with one of the best known and respected light designers, Poul Henningsen. Together with Henningsen, Louis Poulsen created a lighting and product philosophy summed up in the words function, comfort and ambience.

This philosophy continues to this day to clearly influence the very simple and functional product design – with a focus on human well-being and perception of artificial light to create unique lighting environments.
